摘要

The significance of the development of the Roman imperial cult in Asia Minor has long been recognized by New Testament scholars. This study aims at examining one building complex devoted to the imperial cult in the first century of the Common Era: the Sebasteion in Aphrodisias. In examining the architectural design of this monumental structure, it is evident that the primary meaning of the Sebasteion resides in its ability to highlight the power of the Roman emperors and to reinforce the ties between Rome and Aphrodisias.
